Recently, there has been a growing trend toward applying game theory (GT) to various engineering fields in order to solve optimization problems with different competing entities/contributors/players. Researches in the fourth generation (4G) wireless network field also exploited this advanced theory to overcome long-term evolution (LTE) challenges such as resource allocation, which is one of the most...
Given the exploding number of mobile subscribers and the quality of service requirements of emerging mobile services specially the multimedia ones, efficient use of the limited network resources has become so important that it is driving development of intelligent resource allocation (RA) algorithms. Whereas link specific RA problems have been widely investigated in the literature targeting either...
This paper proposes a novel approach, based on game theory, for radio resource allocation in the downlink of cellular networks using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access. The reference technology is the Long Term Evolution of the 3GPP UTRAN. The main contribution is to identify a model for the allocation objectives, and how to approach them in a tunable manner. The resource management issue...
This paper investigates the issue of resource allocation in heterogenous wireless networks, where users have a choice between multiple service providers. We investigate the feasibility of modeling the allocation problem as a probabilistic voting game. In other words, competing transmitters are modeled as candidates in an election, while the receivers form the electorate. Two specific examples are...
This paper proposes a cooperative game theoretic resource allocation scheme for downlink OFDMA wireless networks. We define a user??s payoff as a function of his data throughput. Then the source allocation can be modeled as a cooperative game to maximize the aggregate payoff of the users. To achieve the Nash bargaining solution (NBS) of the game, a suboptimal subcarrier allocation is first performed...
This paper considers distributed protocol design for joint sub-carrier, transmission scheduling and power management in uplink/downlink multi-cellular OFDMA wireless networks. The optimal solution to this problem is hard to achieve, both in theory and in practice. We propose a fully decentralized resource allocation scheme combining decomposition methods for convex optimization with a strategic non-cooperative...
